Abstract |
This report contains chapters devoted to: industrial hazards (electrical engineering, woodworking, printing, engineering, explosion and fire, North Sea oil, miscellaneous); development of a major hazards policy; health and safety activities; occupational hygiene; accident experience; a brief history of the factory inspectorate from 1833 to 1974. Appendices contain, in tabular form: reported cases of industrial diseases; estimated breakdown of accident by nature and site of injury; fatal accidents; fatal and severe accident annual incidence rates (1971-74); reported accidents in 1974, by industry etc. There were 256,930 reported accidents in 1974 (32,656 on construction sites); 479 of these were fatal (161 on construction sites). Comparative figures for 1973 were 272,518 (35,947:construction), of which 549 were fatal (230:construction). The fall in fatalities is accounted for almost entirely by the reduction in the construction industry. |
